Chalo is a Belgian LOVE-brand that offers all-natural, fair, and sustainable products, with a focus on honoring the traditional Indian Chai legacy by providing an authentic recipe in a convenient, consistent, and affordable solution.

Chalo

Chalo is India's #1 bus transport technology company that provides live bus tracking services and contactless payment solutions to transform everyday bus travel into a safer and more reliable experience.

Transport is a fundamental need - like water or air. More people are travelling more and more every day. Yet, only around 15% of Indians can afford their own car, private taxi or a two-wheeler. The remaining 85% depend on public transport. Moreover, with growing traffic and congestion it’s becoming increasingly clear that private transport is causing more problems than it is solving; and a small but significant (and growing) segment are outright rejecting car and bike ownership.

At Chalo, our core purpose is to make travel better for everyone, and we believe that our cities, our health and our lives will be better when we improve the way we travel. We have begun our journey by focusing on bus travel - making it easier for those that rely on it, and also for those that are choosing it. Buses, as a mode of transport, form the core architecture of any city's transport system. They also offer the largest improvement areas and the largest opportunity to create an impact, with 2 out of 3 public transport users depending on buses for their travel. We welcome a conversation with anyone who shares our vision and values, and especially those who wish to offer a counter-point :-)

Acknowledging that we can’t have 'buses for women' until we support 'buses by women,' makes the Assam State Transport Corporation (ASTC) an undeniable leader in improving bus accessibility for women. We are proud to help ASTC include more women in their bus force by training them on the latest Chalo technology, thereby assisting them in better serving the commuters of Assam.

You’ve heard of the Chalo app, now meet one of integral parts of it - Atmesh Mishra, our AVP Platform. 

His dedication and passion to the idea of greener cities and cleaner roads is what led him to join the cause at Chalo. Over the last six years, he has worked on building and growing our platform team from the ground up. We would like to take this opportunity to not just thank him for leading our team but also for brightening the lives of people around him. Here’s us hoping for many more years of Atmesh's brilliance leading our way!

Stay tuned for more untold tales of Chalo heroes.

𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. 
Last week, we hopped aboard the Chalo Bus with our Chalo Community members for a thrilling experience of riding the Chalo Bus across the newly inaugurated Atal Setu MTHL bridge. Witnessing the city from this symbol of connectivity was truly exhilarating. 

To more such meetups towards the common cause of making bus travel better in the city!

Last week, Jammu celebrated a historic moment as Hon'ble Home Minister Shri Amit Shah and Hon'ble Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha flagged off 100 new electric buses for the city. Chalo will be powering  seamless tracking and convenient ticketing on the buses through the Chalo App. By making it easier to take the bus, we’re on our way to increasing bus usage towards a cleaner, greener and sustainable Jammu.

A remarkable start for Chalo in 2024!

First, we had the privilege to collaborate with Assam State Transport Corporation and contribute to the launch of the ASTC National Common Mobility Card which will foster connectivity in Assam. Under the leadership of the Honourable Chief Minister, Shri Himanta Biswa Sarma, Assam becomes the third state in India to adopt NCMC. 

Next, we got the opportunity to present the BSRTC Chalo Card, the Chalo App and the digital ticketing process of Patna City Buses to the Honourable Chief Minister of Bihar Shri Nitish Kumar, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Tejashwi Yadav, Governor of Bihar Shri Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, and other dignitaries at the Bihar Electric Vehicle Expo and Conclave 2024.

Onwards and upwards to more such opportunities this year.

Our Co-Founder, Priya Singh, was invited by the E-Cell & Skill Hub, St. Xavier's College, Mumbai for a mentorship session to empower aspiring entrepreneurs. 
Empower she did - drawing from her extensive startup experiences, Priya shared unique insights and interacted with dozens of budding leaders.

Emphasising the importance of innovation, Priya spoke about how Chalo has brought about a change in bus travel through live tracking and digital ticketing. Her message was to find a problem, fix it relentlessly, and never stop experimenting. She urged the attendees to redirect their focus from the pursuit of overrated goals like launching an IPO and instead focus on building a business that addresses consumer problems. 

Speaking about competition, she said multiple players can coexist in the system. One can succeed by anticipating future trends and staying strategically agile. 

As a parting wisdom, Priya urged attendees to develop resilience. In a competitive world, her advice was simple: ‘be like a cockroach, don't die.’
